E30 Zone

Since I moved to a new house four months ago, there's been a 316i touring parked at the end of my road. The small window in the rear door is smashed and has been patched up with plastic which has come loose, rain is getting in. The tyres are nearly flat, it looks as if the car has not been checked for a very long time.
Just over a week ago it was clamped by the dvla for no tax, it is sure to be taken away soon to be squashed up.
I need a boot cover for mine, should I save, (steel) the one from this car?

Do some house to house enquirires.
Theft is theft at the end of the day and for the sake of a load cover worth about £30 is it worth it?

Your right, seems such a waste though. My road has no residents parking restrictions, so the owner probably lives in a different area.

contact the dvla and tell them your interested in buying the car but cant find the owner see if they can give you the address don't know if it would work but its worth a try

DVLA sell details to anyone so dont see why you cant get the address

i thought that was the case

Rape the turd ! being a 4 ppot it shouldn't take long to remove anything of value ! If you wait and try and do things the 'proper' way the car will have been long cubed !
Tell the rozzers you are an enviromentalist and you are 'recycling' !

Hmmm Morals and Pete, Not normally something you will get in the same thread.

You've read me wrong dave ! It's all about the enviroment / footprint etc !

It's only the thought of 2Âa tonnes on the weighbridge that keeps me cheerful

if its abandoned, then surely the council have to remove it? mite be worth checking with them too as i know a mate of mine bought one of a local authority
otherwise do u like adrenaline? u will feel propper naughty just taking it

I think you can actually lay a claim to it legally if nobody contests your claim within 3 weeks.

Via the police or DVLA I don't know.

whats the address? i could do with a few bits as well.

In three weeks this turd will be a toaster on it's way back from china !

Pony, what other goodies has it got ? If it's worth my while i will give you the luggage cover as a 'finders fee' !

Gang bang.

On the junction of Shakespeare Road and Colharbour Lane, opposite Biz Workspace. SE24, SW2.

On the junction of Shakespeare Road and Colharbour Lane, opposite Biz Workspace. SE24, SW2. Silver, rusty around the back, good bumpers/spolier, and other bits.

well i suppose if the vehicle isnt being atteneded to for like weeks and its pretty beat up anyway, i dont see the problem with it. waste not want not is what i say. if its crap to them, its surely is something to an E30 person.

go down there one night and slip through the plastic window, i doubt it will be alarmed and help yourself to a few bits and pieces. this is, of course, if the door to door enquires bring up no results.

Pacerpete has been remarkably quiet since the address was posted

Job for Mr Hiab

Going to post pictures if its still there in the morning....

Pete would of fragged it by then.

It's a 4 pot , no need to rush ! My skoda is warmed up ready to go but i'll wait for pictures before i decide if it's worth braving saaarf london !

if you wana hand mate tell me ill come i live about 10 mins from brixton

lol this is 10 mins from me too.

Pony I work brixton mate, If u get caught by a local its not worth it buddy, ill take a look tomorrow

I'm not going to touch it. Got pictures from behind but I can't hide the no. plate. Not sure if its ok to post or not?

Whoops I posted the plate, here's the other pics.

sterling silver?

Jhonno, sorry I don't know the different silvers, or in fact that there were different types.

Why do you dont write a note and you put in on the windscreen and ask the owner if you can buy it instead?

I only wanted the boot cover.

What a turd!!! Not so much poverty spec as 3rd world spec!

Don't worry about plates, more people and CCTV will see a cars plates on a daily basis than will ever look at a car on t'internet

It's worth 20 quid.


The whole car, that is. Doesn't look like a good breaker tbh - a couple of wings, foglights etc.
